Dolmen are markers of the spread of Rta

Rta was the religion of the Boreo-Coians , which promoted a concept of earned immortality through reincarnation, a holy social order enforced by the gods, and the consumption of Myristica mel . This religious system probably emerged during the 18th or 17th centuries BCE as the Later Galdian Culture expanded into central and western Coius. There are few contemporary sources on Rta; much of its history is drawn from recording oral traditions and from comparative analysis of religions thought to have descended from Rta.
